We made a last minute booking on the Seabourn Odyssey out of Singapore and bound for Dubai. We were disappointed when booking that the only suites left were ocean view A1, however when we boarded and sailed we realised that the internal layout is the same as the verandah suites, less the verandah but with a 5 feet window. We didn't feel disadvantaged at all.
Embarkation for us was very smooth, but there were problems with some of the computers which held up embarkation process for some passengers.
Ocean view suite very well laid out - bathroom with shower and bath, and two handbasins and roomy enough for the two of us. A dinky little dressing table with drawer in the suite itself - very handy. King size bed - very comfortable - a table and two tub chairs big enough for room service meals, and a nice sofa. Plenty of cupboard space, and even a large walk in robe with a safe. Excellent amenities.
Seabourn A1 suites are just great - same size and configuration as the Verandahs with the same amenities. I would not hesitate again to have this suite category.again. Great bathroom with shower and bath, double basins and makeup mirror - quite roomy.
Plenty of cupboard space - small table with 2 tub chairs, but big enough for room service.
King size bed - very comfortable.
Great little dressing table with drawer - wonderful - and a walk in wardrobe with a safe.
Very well laid out.
